Wow! Turns out that book covers are like buses. First you have nothing and then you have three of them all at once! Anyway, please feast your eyes on the covers for my new middle-grade series, Sophie's Mixed-Up Magic, which is out next June.
I've always been lucky with my covers, and these are no exception! They are actually done by Jeaninie Henderson who also did my Zombie and Fairy cover and I'm pretty sure that she has taken up residence in my brain since I honestly couldn't have dreamed of anything more perfect.
More importantly they are all "so Sophie' right down to her magic djinn ring and her outfits. Oh and seriously, I've even got a magic carpet, just like the one she uses in book three! Plus, I can see a peep of a colored Converse, which Sophie's shoe of choice!
And isn't the cover model amazing? She looks like she's having so much fun (and I can almost see her using some magic to give her hair a bit more bounce and shine, which is what Sophie likes to do, especially when a certain boy is around!)
Anyway, yes, I'm rambling, but I'm honestly so thrilled with these gorgeous covers! I don't have the official back cover blurbs yet but I will get them posted on my website as soon as I do.
But the short version is that the day before sixth grade Sophie Campbell accidentally gets turned into a djinn and then has to learn how to control her powers and hide it all from her mom (who is still super stressed since Sophie's dad walked out on them four years earlier). She also has to stop her new, recently-deceased djinn guide, Malik from ruining her life. Let's just say that chaos ensues!
Wishful Thinking and Under a Spell are both out in June 2012 and Out of Sight will be out a few months later so looks like next year is going to be super busy for me!

Amanda, these covers are completely awesome (just like the books!) The cover model is exactly how I imagined Sophie and I'm sooo looking forward to the series hitting the shelves next year. Congratulations on another three gorgeous covers to add to your collection!!!
Excellent, Amanda. And how exciting to get all three of them at once. Congrats!!

Love them! I'll buy the whole series to read with my daughter, who is now at the perfect age for books like these!
Hey Tia, that is so cool! And I will try not to be jealous that my own reading-addicted daughter has shown no interest in any of my books - not enough dragons or crossbows in them for her liking!!! Though she has kindly said that if she runs out of library books and our home library then perhaps she will look at them!!!!
